Working Together Fundamental Pathway (Ensemble Building, Sketch Comedy, Acting Styles) High School To support families and teachers in realizing the goals of the Colorado Academic Standards, this guide provides an overview of the learning expectations for high school drama and theatre arts education and offers some possible learning experiences students may engage in during this time. Why Standards? Created by Coloradans for Colorado students, the Colorado Academic Standards provide a grade-by-grade road map to help ensure students are ultimately successful in college, careers, and life. The standards aim to improve what students learn and how they learn in ten content areas, emphasizing critical-thinking, creativity, problem solving, collaboration, and communication as important life skills in the 21st century. Drama and Theatre Arts Education for High Schools (9-12) The drama and theatre arts standards in the high school years focus on specific drama knowledge and skills and theatre elements to develop a solid foundation for specialized theatrical study (acting/character and script analysis, playwriting, technical theatre such as lights/sound/set and costume design, directing, and film studies). Through a variety of specialized theatre courses, students research, investigate and perform numerous dramatic techniques and theatrical genres such as scripted and improvisational works. They also examine character development and a variety of setting scenarios, develop ideas as playwrights, directors, designers and technicians, describe their own personal preferences for drama and theatre works, and respectfully critique themselves and the performances of others.
